TestOptimal utilizes Selenium/WebDriver to perform browser automation. The system will automatically download the appropriate driver when it's needed and thus internet is required.

Alternatively, you may copy the required browser driver into the expected location ahead of time to remove this dependency. Check SvrLog file for the location of the driver files: e.g.

 2020-05-18 13:44:40 [INFO] loading chrome driver from C:\Users\myAccount\.m2\repository\webdriver\chromedriver\win32\80.0.3987.106\chromedriver.exe

If you are performing AUT testing on Safari browser, you will need to enable automation on Safari browser by running the following command once:

 safaridriver --enable

Refer to Server Configuration to customize your installation.
